Assuming you gathered together a party within 30 minutes, and only took a hour from that time to do 6 kills, it would take you about 250 hours, a full 10 and a half days of fighting Ig-Alima non-stop, to get the sword. The OAT would be a much preferred option, I doubt anyone would rather go through VW than to do the 40 hours worth of work involved in an OAT.
My NM camping trials took me 3 days. So no. A MINIMUM of 40 hours, maybe, but definitely far from a cap. It took me and a friend tag team camping Intulo for 8 hours just to see the first one. The biggest problem with the NM camping trials is that they are disgustingly random, sometimes you get the NM within the first few minutes of its window, sometimes it takes 3-5 hours, some times even more. Intulo and Orctrap for my H2H trials both took ages to appear, and Orctrap made a point of taking 2-3 hours each spawn.
